You're right (and it's one of the reasons I enjoy reading HN) but it's kind of ironic in this context, isn't it? We're all so good at not telling people to STFU and what-not, but we still have enumerable troubles with entire discussions not

Boots on the ground are important. Tools are important. Ancillary tools are important. I've worked with doctors, researchers and software developers. We're all important. Doctors solve problems that are occurring right now . They save live

So I think you can't advertise bad food to kids in my country (the few times I've seen kids advertising it's for toys, not lollies), but honestly I think the stuff that is worse is advertising to mothers. Some of those are disgustingly pred

This kind of thing reminds me of guys who gets one night stands by propositioning every single women they come across. The end result from his perspective is that he scored. The end result from everyone else's perspective is that he's a sle

Is it me or has comments 19-24 been deleted? I'm guessing that's where the Mueller response used to be, but I don't see anything.

Can I get something clarified here, because I'm a bit confused about one aspect of this. So these DRM extensions are platform-specific binary globs that will be simple to talk to via JS. The idea being that you write an HTML5 page that has

Is this a strict upgrade over ST2, or more of a features++ stability-- muscleMemory-- style thing?

Isn't this just like anything that is obviously subjective though? Wine, beer, food, fashion, cars, games, programming languages. In fact, I'm struggling to think of a collection of things that people enjoy that can be objectively measure

I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manuelmaly... because it's the cleanest looking HN app I could find. It currently doesn't let you comment or vote on comments. It's open source though so those problems are theoretic

drcross is a hack. (Source: I'm a space fairy) If you're going to throw broad statements around some examples would really help lend you credibility.

So I thought everyone was across this stuff, at least since it blew up on the net a couple of years ago. Dropbox is a really easy way to move files from one computer to another and to keep multiple computers syncronized. It's not particular

It is a thing in property sale, to occasionally contain contractual obligations that force the buyer to act in a certain way (you may not cut down these trees) and additionally force the buyer to keep that obligation attached to later sales

While your site is down, let me make one OT comment: I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that the username was 'rms'. Unsurprisingly I suppose, you're not that rms.

OT: your overlay that appears at the top of the screen if you scroll down far enough means that when you click a footnote you can't actually see the footnote without scrolling up a little.

My sight isn't starting to go, but I will say I find the blog much more readable before the custom font got loaded and it still used Verdana (I'm on Windows).

As do I. Well. As did I. I've pretty much canned the idea at this stage, because I'd love to build this thing, but the three funding options seem to be angel, subscriptions or ads. The first and third make me behooven to someone else; the

It's certainly why I haven't touched it. I suppose not having ads is nice, but it still seems to have the same fundamental problems that FB/Twitter/G+/et al have. I really want something like tent.io to succeed (and when my time frees up sh

In case it's not obvious from the juxtaposition of our two posts, I completely agree. Having "tech famous" people on HN is great not because they're tech famous, but because they can provide the sorts of information that made them tech fa

So the thing that struck me when I first started reading HN was that this place is a constant AMA with famous people ! Real people, real hackers, who've done impressive stuff, who aren't random bored teenagers in their boxers pretending

You may think QnA == discussion, but the mods and general culture of the site say otherwise. It's unfortunate, and the SE sites are notorious for being strict to the point of depression, but that's a discussion for another time.

For me holding it is the point! It's the only way to get the angle exactly right for all 2^32 different slouch positions I move between as I read on the couch. I do admit there needs to be some work on the ergonomics-- thinner does not mean

There has been a very obvious Chrome|Safari|Webkit only trend recently, usually for either demos/pocs, but also often for MVP/betas (I believe Mega may have been one of those).

So I have read a bit about Bitcoin, including actively trying to read primers and so on, but I think my utter lack of education around economics^ is really hindering my understanding. Plainly: Why do I care about bitcoin? What does it have
